@FAE That's a shame. Uncharted 2 managed to keep the narrative/flow of a movie without the...boring, non-interactive bits of a movie that MGS 4 sorely suffers
@Retrosaur The existing directions are pretty bad, and it doesn't help that the steam64 package doesn't work if you haven't already added i386 support.
Alright, I've figured this out.
What you need to do is, before trying to download Steam, you have to update your system. You can do this two ways, either going to the top left hand corner and clicking the dashboard icon, then search for Update, then update your stuff, or manually:
sudo apt-get...
I believe in my let's play I literally say "%^&$ it just kill me" a number of times in that game
In fact I found Justine to be much more enjoyable
@OrigamiRobot I prefer the creepiness/story of horror games more than the "scary" bit. I rarely get any sort of scared feeling, but I love the twisted stuff in Silent Hill and the sci fi stuff and screwed up realizations in Dead Space
Cut off their limbs > shoot them in the head
Though Dead Space 3 has head-shooty enemies and limb-cutty enemies now
@OrigamiRobot That's what I just don't get much of a jolt out of, unless I'm really in danger. Though I can appreciate Dead Space, especially DS1, does those really well
@BenBrocka I haven't played it yet. I find it very difficult to find good horror movies like this. Most American/Hollywood horror is just cheap shock horror or torture porn, and I'm like "eh" on that.
@FAE I can't find horror movies appealing at all. The games are a much more immersive experience. And, oddly enough, often have much better and well thought out stories than horror movies
What I want to know about balefire is this: If Person A kills Person B, then Person A is killed with balefire, what happens to Person B. If that is never covered in the series, I might stop reading right now.
@BenBrocka THe only time I got legitimately scared by a game and had to stop playing for a moment was in one of the FEAR games. They spent a lot of time showing you that if the little girl touches you, you are instadead. Then they have her show up in random places. It very unnerving. This specific time, I was looking for some kind of puzzle piece or something and when I turned around, she was right behind me reaching up.
@OrigamiRobot I felt the opposite. When the little girl was around I felt safe because I knew there weren't any aimbot enemies with too much health around.
@OrigamiRobot I jumped out of my seat during the Sander Cohen level of BioShock. I turned around and there was a statue that wasn't there before. Walked right up close to it and then it attacked.
I played that level a few more times to see what the mechanics of that encounter are. After you pass a certain point, she follows you around and waits for you to turn around. It's really creepy.
@BenBrocka I couldn't play Dead Space (half because of the controls, and half because there was not a single instant where you could let your guard down).
@StrixVaria Nah, all the combat stuff was boring. My favorite part was looking for all the instances where Alma showed up that were really subtle and easy to miss.
@OrigamiRobot The combat was terrible. I didn't say that it was good. It's just that the combat was also brutal, so I felt safer around the creepy little girl.
@StrixVaria I never had a real problem with the combat. I just snuck around with the shotgun. Also the spikegun. The guy in the powersuit was pretty brutal though.
@djsmiley2k My biggest problem is that I'm a perfectionist with a short attention span. So I end up with all the stress and freaking out about missable achievements and doing stuff right for completion with none of the end results of actually finishing anything.
@StrixVaria Also the..."shotgun" thing, the graviton accelerator, is a great "GTF away from me!" gun. Primary fire knocks away targets, secondary fire is lethal
@fbueckert Yeah, I'm going to stick it out this time. Jochem reminded me that when it starts out, they're still pretty young, so it's not inappropriate for them to be acting as immature as they do.
Also playing it on easy easier difficulties significantly reduces the risk of sudden dead in Dead Space. I don't care for that personally though, since checkpoints are common enough and I'm pretty good at it anyway
@BenBrocka I only played on easy, and I stopped playing after I spent like 20 minutes trying to kill this big brutish thing on 4 legs that charged at me, using all my ammo to finally get it down. Then I went to the next area and there were 2 of them. That's when I stopped.
@StrixVaria You did shoot for the limbs, right? It's not fucking around about that. Most creatures die after 2 limbs are removed (head only counts as maybe half a limb). You can also slow most enemies down by cutting off a leg or weaken their attack by cutting off the pointy bits
@BenBrocka Yeah but they were armored from the front and took a good number of shots from the back (which was hard to line up due to the control issue).
@fbueckert There are limited networks for that, and they really don't have the funding to deal with all of the books people want to drop off - that takes manpower and the like, and most libraries are massively underfunded as it is
I've got a box of old computer parts I'm going to take over there. they have a computer shop of sorts where they sell computers they've cobbled together, along with replacement parts
@agent86 That's where I take a lot of things I don't need. And the books they don't sell either go to a recycling place, or they are sent to overseas places that need books. :)
